“Part­ner­ship is im­por­tant, and that’s what we want to laud them for – to part­ner with us to en­sure im­prove­ment in the teach­ing-and-learn­ing process. We are grate­ful to Almighty God and to the team that as­sisted us,” the prin­ci­pal added.

The as­sis­tance came be­cause of a shared vi­sion, ac­cord­ing to the prin­ci­pal, after one stake­holder, Clover Virgo, was in­flu­en­tial in get­ting Jac­quel Tucker to seek spon­sor­ship for the school.

PMISSION TRIP

The help came from Hil­ton Ho­tels, which as­sisted Ja­maica Project USA, formed in March 2015 by Jac­quel and Shun Tucker, and which made their first mis­sion trip to Ja­maica for the ef­fort.

In the end, the school ben­e­fited from the re­fur­bish­ing of the li­brary and the com­puter cen­tre at the school and the do­na­tion of sev­eral items.

Hig­gins Land Pri­mary School was re­cip­i­ent of eight desk­top com­put­ers, one printer, eight com­puter chairs, five round plas­tic ta­bles, with 20 plas­tic chairs and 300 books for the li­brary.

Stu­dents also re­ceived school sup­plies and hy­giene kits.

“Cor­po­rate so­cial re­spon­si­bil­ity works best when it is in­te­grated into our ev­ery­day com­pany cul­ture. We be­lieve at Hil­ton that all our prop­er­ties and as­so­ciates should in­vest into the sur­round­ing com­mu­nity they live and work in.”
